PJ The Belt - Carney is ACTUALLY DOING THIS!!

00:00:00.000 My ministers all will also proceed with the introduction of digital ID that will modernize

00:00:07.180 how citizens interact with public services.

00:00:10.700 We agreed to bring in digital verification for tradespeople by the spring of next year

00:00:15.360 and those negotiations are underway and I know we all intend to push them forward.

00:00:20.880 They're communists.

00:00:22.240 They want to destroy our country.

00:00:23.240 We're not going to let that happen.

00:00:24.740 Well, I can say I'm surprised.

00:00:27.320 I knew that at some point Canada was going to be doing this.

00:00:30.580 I mean, people have been warning about it for years, and now here we are.

00:00:34.620 It's actually happening.

00:00:36.120 And you know what the first thing the government wants you to know?

00:00:39.320 That it's voluntary.

00:00:41.860 Voluntary, seriously.

00:00:43.340 Now, where have we heard that word before?

00:00:45.740 Because I'm telling you right now, that one word is exactly what has me concerned.

00:00:51.380 We're talking about government-issued digital ID.

00:00:54.860 And immediately a few questions come to mind, of course.

00:00:57.320 who controls it, who can access it, and what happens if one day you decide that you don't

00:01:03.020 want to participate anymore or at all. Now, pay attention to this next part because

00:01:07.580 the announcement is coming out of Ontario, Canada's most populated province.

00:01:12.820 Dockford's government is moving ahead with plans for digital ID.

00:01:16.200 Digital IDs. I mean, does this take it one step further than just taking a picture of my ID and

00:01:22.380 keeping it on my phone? So, yeah, this is the Ontario government,

00:01:25.320 The Minister of Public and Business Service, Delivery and Procurement, Stephen Crawford, announced that they are going to move ahead with a plan to launch what they call digital credentials.

00:01:33.980 They're going to start with the photo card, which is what you have if you don't have a driver's license.

00:01:39.580 And then the plan is eventually to include driver's licenses and health cards as well.

00:01:44.140 We know that in Canada, Quebec, Alberta, BC also have similar plans in place.

00:01:50.160 And so we're long past the point where people are like, well, it's on a smartphone.

00:01:53.580 Can it be hacked?

00:01:54.220 no it's incredibly secure it's been proven around the world it's finally time for Ontario to get

00:02:00.220 with the program they announced something in 2021 that didn't go anywhere now they're picking up the

00:02:05.280 baton and we can expect that to be rolled out over the next couple years as well and of course the

00:02:09.920 government says people will still be able to use their physical identification but here's my

00:02:14.560 question what happens five years from now ten years from now because a promise today doesn't

00:02:21.280 automatically protect you from a different policy tomorrow first is voluntary it always is and

00:02:27.820 everybody starts using it businesses start expecting it before you know it you have to have

00:02:32.880 it you have to have it and what happens to people who refuse can they still live their lives without

00:02:39.340 being penalized and we all remember just a few years back what happened right with the vaccination

00:02:44.760 requirements and all that remember having a show documentation to enter a restaurant go to a gym

00:02:50.960 to board a flight or just live your life in general.

00:02:54.100 Do you remember how many people felt like they had to choose

00:02:56.540 between following the rules and actually participating in society?

00:02:59.720 That wasn't long ago, folks.

00:03:02.160 And now here we are talking about digital ID.

00:03:04.360 Well, the provincial government is looking to introduce

00:03:06.700 a digital version of government-issued IDs.

00:03:11.680 The proposal includes a Digital Ontario photo card

00:03:15.480 that would provide photo identification

00:03:17.400 for those without a driver's license.

00:03:19.640 The province says consultations will begin shortly in an effort to get feedback on the proposal.

00:03:26.060 Other photo IDs could also be getting an update,

00:03:28.840 with the province floating the idea of introducing optional digital driver's licenses and health cards.

00:03:35.280 And this isn't just something Canadians should be worried about.

00:03:38.940 Americans should be paying attention to this because government overreach doesn't stop at the Canadian border.

00:03:45.100 And this reminds me of something President Ronald Reagan once said.

00:03:48.800 the nine most terrifying words in the english language are i'm from the government and i'm

00:03:55.080 here to help that line is just as relevant today as it was back then look i understand the argument

00:04:01.200 for convenience people already use their phones for banking boarding passes and just about

00:04:06.380 everything else but there's a big difference between choosing something because it's convenient

00:04:11.220 and having no choice but to use it because once something becomes the law or essential to your

00:04:18.620 daily life how much choice do you really have think about that proverbial frog in a pot right

00:04:24.700 water starts warm everything feels comfortable then the temperature keeps rising little by little

00:04:30.860 before you know it you're cooked and that's how i see government overreach not necessarily one

00:04:36.420 big dramatic announcement but a series of small encroachments and overreach bit by bit until one

00:04:43.700 day you look around and wonder what the hell happened. Government doesn't need to be involved

00:04:49.700 in every single aspect of our lives. It needs to be small, serve the people, not the other way

00:04:55.300 around, do the jobs that it was created to do and leave people the hell alone. Did you see any of

00:05:01.280 the little alerts about the new iPhone update? Guess what? It's going to let you add your

00:05:07.300 passport to your Apple wallet. It creates something called a digital ID that you can use whenever you

00:05:13.300 IT'S NOT A LITTLE BIT OF

00:05:15.300 DIGITAL I.D.

00:05:16.300 IT'S NOT A LITTLE BIT OF

00:05:18.300 DIGITAL I.D.

00:05:19.300 INCLUDING AT THE AIRPORT TO GET

00:05:21.300 ON DOMESTIC FLIGHTS FOR A LOT

00:05:22.300 OF THINGS.

00:05:23.300 IT SOUNDS SUPER NIFTY AND SO

00:05:25.300 CONVENIENT.

00:05:26.300 EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE.

00:05:27.300 WELL, IF YOU THINK THAT, YOU

00:05:29.300 MUST HAVE MORE TRUST IN BIG

00:05:31.300 TECH SAFEGUARDING YOUR

00:05:32.300 PRIVACY THAN I DO.

00:05:33.300 BUT AT LEAST HERE IN THE UNITED

00:05:35.300 STATES, THIS IDEA OF A DIGITAL

00:05:37.300 I.D. IS OPTIONAL.

00:05:39.300 AT LEAST FOR NOW.

00:05:41.300 BUT IN THE U.K. IT LOOKS LIKE

00:05:43.300 make a new free of charge digital ID mandatory for the right to work by the end of this parliament.

00:05:51.320 Let me spell that out. You will not be able to work in the United Kingdom if you do not have

00:05:56.800 digital ID. It's as simple as that. Well, it's not simple. And you notice it's at the global

00:06:03.700 progress meeting. Well, it's not simple. And it's being pushed by people in high places

00:06:10.240 IT'S A LOT OF NEFARIOUS MOTIVES

00:06:12.120 AND THE DIGITAL I.D. DEBATE HAS

00:06:16.420 CAUSED AN UPROAR AMONG THE BRITS

00:06:18.200 CONCERNS ABOUT PRIVACY, CIVIL

00:06:20.200 LIBERTY, PERHAPS GEOFENCING,

00:06:22.400 TRACKING, SOCIAL CREDIT SYSTEMS,

00:06:24.760 A LOT OF NEFARIOUS MOTIVES.

00:06:26.740 BUT TECH BILLIONAIRES BILL GATES

00:06:28.480 AND LARRY ELLISON, THEY'RE

00:06:29.760 TOTALLY ON BOARD.

00:06:31.000 THE N.H.S. IN THE U.K. HAS AN

00:06:33.680 INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF POPULATION

00:06:35.080 DATA.

00:06:35.600 BUT IT'S FRAGMENTED.

00:06:36.680 IT'S NOT EASILY ACCESSIBLE BY

00:06:38.520 these AI models. We have to take all of this data we have in our country and move it into a single,

00:06:45.560 if you will, unified data platform. A unified data platform. Well, what could possibly go wrong with

00:06:53.180 that? Now, here's what I want to know. If digital ID is truly voluntary, will people always be able

00:06:59.380 to use physical identification? Will anybody ever be denied an essential service for refusing to get

00:07:05.780 digital ID Canada and Europe should secure our strategic autonomy through

00:07:10.960 deep cooperation in the full range of strategic capabilities including

00:07:16.460 critical minerals defense industrial capacity AI and compute energy security

00:07:22.700 space and payments we should move towards seamless digital trade and

00:07:28.780 non-agricultural goods and a wide range of services now before I go I just
